Summary

The NDIS is set to slash support for nearly 145,000 Australians with autism by 2030, shifting focus to those with the most severe needs as costs soar toward $117 billion. Two-thirds of those affected will be under 18, sparking alarm from advocates and human rights groups. The government argues this is essential for fiscal sustainability, introducing new programs like Thriving Kids to fill gaps — but critics warn it risks undermining rights and leaving vulnerable children behind.
